1917 FS-101 Cent, MS65 Red and Brown
Doubled Die Obverse

1917 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. The date, IN GOD WE TRUST, and Lincoln's bow-tie are all clearly doubled on this popular variety. Although not as widely doubled as the famous 1955 doubled die cent, this variety is more easily viewed that many other similar varieties in the Lincoln cent series. It is one of just 10 doubled die Lincoln cent varieties listed in the 2016 Guide Book, making it an extremely important issue. PCGS has certified 219 of these in all grades, but only 41 of those grade MS60 or better. This satiny Gem has pristine surfaces and bold details with pale orange and violet color on its light brown surfaces. Population: 3 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (11/15).
